Best Answer

Shakespeare wrote 38 plays, and they all have different themes, although sometimes they share some of their themes. Hamlet has to do with revenge, and so does Titus Andronicus. Julius Caesar has to do with transfer of power by assassination, as does Macbeth, Richard II and Richard III. Wrongful usurpation also is a theme in The Tempest and As You Like It. The Taming of the Shrew and The Merry Wives of Windsor both have to do with the battle of the sexes. Unjustly jealous husbands appear in The Winter's Tale, Othello, Much Ado About Nothing, Cymbeline and The Merry Wives of Windsor. Women who take on the identity of a man appear in Twelfth Night, The Two Gentlemen of Verona, The Merchant of Venice, Cymbeline and As You Like It. Arranged marriages are a theme in Romeo and Juliet, The Merry Wives of Windsor, The Two Gentlemen of Verona and All's Well that Ends Well. Dumb constables: Measure for Measure and Much Ado About Nothing. The Bed-trick: Measure for Measure and All's Well. Play within a play: Hamlet, The Tempest, A Midsummer Night's Dream. Magic and Fairyland: The Tempest and A Midsummer Night's Dream. Mob rule: Julius Caesar, Coriolanus, Henry VI Part II. Conventional Love vs. Real Love: Love's Labour's Lost, Romeo and Juliet, Much Ado about Nothing. Friends who are rivals: The Two Gentlemen of Verona, The Two Noble Kinsmen.
